NGolo Kante beat Harry Kane to best Premier League player in Ballon d’Or voting

The midfielder who has been the Premier League’s top scorer for the past two seasons has also recently been nominated for BBC Sport’s Personality of the Year.

Coming in two spots higher than Kane was Chelsea’s Kante to earn the highest ranked Premier League player on the list.

The French international became the first player to win back-to-back Premier League winners’ medals last season when he claimed the title with the Blues after winning with Leicester City the season prior.

Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne came in as the Premier League’s top attacking midfielder when he checked in at 14th place on the list.
